Stepwise strategies in analysing haematuria and leukocyturia in screening

The aim of the present work was to compare in a supposed healthy population of 680 subjects several algorithms for positive selection of urine samples requiring microscopic examination for erythrocytes and leukocytes after screening by automated test-strip measurement and particle counting on a Sysmex UF-50? flow cytometer...

How to improve the teaching of urine microscopy

Background: Urinary microscopy is difficult to teach. This paper describes a 1-day course on urine microscopy, which was based on both theoretical and practical sessions at the microscope, during which real urine samples were examined.

Methods: The course was based on: a) an introductory presentation with slides on the main components of urinary sediments and their clinical correlates; b) examination of fixed urine samples under the guidance of two experts; and c) the use of two microscopes, each equipped with a co-observation device for up to 15 observers.

Results: Throughout 2005, four courses were held in four Italian towns...

Benefits of the iQ200 automated urine microscopy analyser in routine urinalysis

Background: Urine microscopic analysis is hampered by its lack in standardisation and semi-quantitative reports, resulting in limited reliability...

Limits of preservation of samples for urine strip tests and particle counting

Background: Preservation of urine samples is important for centralised laboratory services with automated instruments.

Methods: A multicentre evaluation was carried out to assess preservative tubes from BD Diagnostics-Pre-analytical Systems and from Greiner Bio-One for test strip reading (documented at the level of remission values), for particle counting by flow cytometers (UF-100) and for visual microscopy...

Automated urinalysis: first experiences and a comparison between the Iris iQ200 urine microscopy system, the Sysmex UF-100 flow cytometer and manual microscopic particle counting

Background: Automated analysis of insoluble urine components can reduce the workload of conventional microscopic examination of urine sediment and is possibly helpful for standardization...
